In 2007, the Board of Governors determined it needed an update to the Campus Master Plan to guide the needs of the future. Opportunities for development in the heart of the campus were constrained and it was not clear where future growth should be directed. The university needed a vision and strategy to maintain the quality and integrity of the campus well into the future. The role of the Campus Master Plan is to shape and manage the physical changes that lie ahead by guiding the ongoing planning, design and development of the campus.

Wood (260) 665-4600 Trine University to open Regional Education Center in Avon AVON, Ind. – At the Dec. 1 Avon Town Council meeting, the Town entered into an agreement to bring another post-secondary educational opportunity to Avon for area residents. The agreement calls for Trine University to occupy 8,000 square feet in the Beechwood Centre adjacent to Ivy Tech Community College. Trine University, a 4-year degree-based program, will build numerous classrooms and labs that will be utilized to offer more than 10 bachelor degree programs and two master’s degrees through the School of Professional Studies. Areas of study will include Management, Business Administration, Communication, Computer Science, Criminal Justice, Emergency Management, Engineering, Leadership, and Psychology. David W. Wood, Dean of the School of Professional Studies at Trine University expressed the school’s excitement when he said, “This is a tremendous opportunity for adults to complete a bachelor’s or master’s degree; our unique partnership with the Town of Avon makes higher education even more attainable for the residents of this community.” This is a 10-year agreement and part of the Avon Redevelopment Commission’s overall master plan to revitalize the once-thriving retail center with opportunities for area residents. Beechwood Centre was built to house Cub Foods, which closed in 2001. Then the center housed various restaurants and retail stores including Gerdt Furniture until 2008.
